World Down Syndrome Day

A few learning disabilities student nurses: Gemma Bellerby; Rosie Garbutt; Zoe Graham; and Gemma Oliver celebrated World Down Syndrome Day.

The day is celebrated on 21st day of the 3rd month, this represents the 3 copies of chromosome 21, which is unique to people with Down syndrome. 

The idea is to wear odd socks and share the photo on social media to raise awareness of the syndrome.
